Among the positions the Oakland Raiders are trying to address at training camp, kick off and punt returners are on the list. For a solution, they might just turn to a player they brought in to compete for the starting running back position â veteran Maurice Jones-Drew.Â Friday at camp in Napa, Ca2014-07-27 17:36:297/22: isportsweb.com- AFC East preview: How do the New York Jets stack up?http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/isportsweb/~3/OcqH_BCZnG0/
Before the New York Jets begin training camp later this week, I want to illustrate how their roster measures up to their divisional opponentsâ rosters. No offense to kickers and punters, but I will be leaving special teams out of this article for space reasons.

For the past few seasons, the New York Jets have been known for their receiving corps, but not in a good way. The now-departed Santonio Holmes was a shell of himself, Stephen Hill looked more like a bust every game and Jeremy Kerley, though fast and dependable, could not carry the passing game.

Week 1: at New York Jets, 10 a.m. Pacific (CBS) The Raiders will make their third trip to the swamps of New Jersey&#8212;what the Meadowlands used to be before they became the Meadowlands&#8212;in less than a year.

Two weeks ago, I looked at the best punt returners in NFL history; today, a look at the top kickoff returners. Again, we begin with a graph of the league average yards per kickoff return from 1941 through 2013. The variation here has been relatively minor, falling in a 5-yard window from 18.9 yards 2014-04-02 00:36:133/21: KC Kingdom- The Kansas City Chiefs Should Trade Stars For Picks While They Canhttp://kckingdom.com/2014/03/21/kansas-city-chiefs-trade-stars-picks/
The Kansas City Chiefs continue to fly under the radar in free-agency. To date, they&#039;ve lost several players, including two Pro-Bowlers in Branden Albert and Dexter McCluster, a starting defensive end in Tyson Jackson, as well as some much needed depth along the offensive line in Jon Asamoah an2014-03-21 09:37:063/17: Golden Gate Sports- NFL Rumors: New York Jets Eyeing Free Agent WR Jacoby Fordhttp://goldengatesports.com/2014/03/17/nfl-rumors-new-york-jets-eyeing-free-agent-wr-jacoby-ford/

Six years ago, I wrote a series of posts looking at the best returners in NFL history. Today, I want to update that list by examining the best punt returners in NFL history. As with most statistics, yards per punt return has fluctuated throughout most of NFL history.

Dos victorias en dos semanas consecutivas; es mÃ¡s, Â¡dos victorias en cuatro dÃ­as! Esto no es algo a lo que estemos acostumbrados los fanÃ¡ticos de los Vaqueros de Dallas.

Two wins in two consecutive weeks; whatâs more, two wins in four days! This is not something Cowboys Nation is very accustomed to. Itâs a first in the season, and it just comes at the right time. Nevertheless, we have to take into account the fact that both wins came against losing-record teams.2013-11-30 10:35:3211/29: Sports Dallas Fort-Worth- Play The Ball, Win The Gamehttp://sportdfw.com/2013/11/29/play-ball-win-game/
Thank you Brandon Carr. While watching the game I was talking to Tim Fitzgerald (Raiders Radio Host) and I kept saying the Cowboys DBs just didn&#8217;t play the ball. The first half was painful to watch.Â As I watched the game unfold I was getting more and more worried about the secondary.

If you thought the the Hindenburg disasterÂ was deflating, you probably didn&#8217;t see the Oakland Raidersâ preseason loss in New Orleans. The Raiders&#8217; offensive line imploded, the defensive line pressure was nonexistent, and the long list of injuries grew. 28-20 was the final score but th2013-08-20 08:37:088/12: We Talk Fantasy Sports- Boys Making Noise in the Preseasonhttp://www.wetalkfantasysports.com/2013/08/NFL-Preseason-Fantasy-Football.html
Every year, players dominate the preseason, but rarely do they make an impact in fantasy land. However, with so many teams running with a committee in the backfield and holding on to those extra receivers to spread the field, some of these guys might actually be able to help during the regular seaso2013-08-12 12:36:427/15: Bigfoot Sports Blog- Fantasy Football: What to Expect from Denarius Moorehttp://bigfootsports-blog.com/what-to-expect-from-denarius-moore/
For the Oakland Raiders this offseason has consisted of improving the defense with the acquisitions of Charles Woodson, Mike Jenkins and D.J. Hayden among others. With that being said, what about the offense? Well, for the most part the Raiders have lost a majority of their offense from 2012 without2013-07-15 15:38:047/2: Sports Out West- Oakland Raiders: 6 Impact Players to Watch in 2013http://www.sportsoutwest.com/2013/07/02/oakland-raiders-6-impact-players-to-watch-in-2013/
For the Raiders to escape the NFL cellar, they will need their leaders to excel week in and week out. There are several candidates poised to do so: Darren McFaddenÂ - RB Simply put, McFadden IS the offense.

The entire Oakland Raiders offseason has been about &#8220;out with the old and in with the new.&#8221; Â Their OTAs and minicamp were not any different.Â The team was looking to forget about last season and begin to look forward to the possibilities of better things in 2013.Â Here are five takeaw2013-06-17 08:38:205/14: FFLockerRoom- WR Andre Holmes Claimed Off Waivers By Raidershttp://fflockerroom.com/2013/05/14/wr-andre-holmes-claimed-off-waivers-by-raiders/
The Oakland Raiders have claimed Andre Holmes off waivers from the New England Patriots. Holmes, who is 6&#8217;4&#8243; and runs a 4.45 forty, will be a welcome addition to the Oakland camp. Even though he has been cut by two teams recently (Patriots and Cowboys) that doesn&#8217;t mean he can&#8212013-05-14 13:37:45
